Accompanying Herod: Why did People Go out in the Wilderness to See John the Baptist?
“Did you find everything you were looking for?” I remember the first time I heard that question. I had been looking around that store for what seemed to be hours. At one point, I asked a clerk in the store to help and they had to go get some help. They never returned. As I…
